Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Ömer Miran Efendi came from the İslam community; the father was a tradesman (esnaf). The first annual entry, for 1865/66 (AH 1282), names Ömer Miran as emlak muharrir-i sanisi, with no place, with a rise to Tahrir Memuru in 1868/69. For 1881 to 1886 the lists have no entry. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1886/87 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 750 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to a peak of 1,250 in 1868/69, as Tahrir Memuru, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 17 years the salaries add up to 216,876 kuruş, 2.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1886/87.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
